Film-music, music, film and TEFL – realizing a vision
James Fitzgibbon (Qatar University)
This workshop presentation, which is a combination of theory and practice,
examines the use of film-music and film in TEFL. These powerful
pedagogic ingredients represent sensory, motivational learning tools and
offer time to recreate language acquisition functions, promote appreciation
of the artistic sides of language learning and create a vision in the
student’s mind-set of a more effective learner.

Activating English for higher education
Jemma Barzey (British Council, Jordan) & Catherine Olive Glover

Do your teenage learners have the critical skills needed to use their
English in the context of higher education? Join our interactive workshop
to learn how to activate your students’ English for university. Through
practical examples, you will investigate and identify the key skills and
strategies expected in an academic context and adapt resources to help
your learners.
How to harness emotions for success in the classroom
Sean McDonald (telc
- language tests)
Adult learners are best motivated by manageable chunks of material
logically presented. By concentrating on the same emotions in four 20-unit
books, one on each of the skills - writing, reading, listening and speaking -
this workshop shows how English Practice Material appeals to learners
who need to improve measurably, efficiently and yet enjoyably.

Soft power: adding soft skills training to your teaching toolkit
Mark Powell (Macmillan Education)
If you’re the kind of teacher who favours a highly communicative, learningby-doing
approach, then you’re already ideally placed to become a soft
skills trainer too. Teamwork, assertiveness, problem-solving and conflict
resolution are just a few of the must-have ‘competencies’ your students’
employers are crying out for. So join us for a fast-and-furious experience
of soft skills training in action!
